New Collection Features the Most Sought-After Vintage Handbags in the World Available for Borrowing

SEATTLE, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Bag Borrow or Steal (bagborroworsteal.com), the "luxury on loan" online retailer that allows women to borrow designer handbags and jewelry, is now helping women use styles of the past to be modern and unique. Bag Borrow or Steal today announced the launch of its "Vintage Collection," a compilation of the most coveted designer handbags in the world from iconic designers, including Hermes, Chanel, and Gucci. The collection is the first of its kind available for borrowing, and gives every woman the opportunity to incorporate the glamour of another era into her daily wardrobe with rare, hard to find pieces from past decades.

"Bag Borrow or Steal pays close to attention to the key fashion trends of today, in addition to predicting the fashion trends of tomorrow," said Patricia Hambrick, chief marketing officer for Bag Borrow or Steal. "In the ever-changing world of fashion, vintage accessories are in high demand right now. Through the Vintage Collection, we are giving women easy access to a whole new level of luxury and making it possible for them to experience the excitement of carrying a designer vintage handbag."

Bag Borrow or Steal worked closely with Clair Watson, couture consultant for Doyle New York and now vintage curator for Bag Borrow or Steal, to assemble the collection, leveraging Watson's extensive knowledge of vintage accessories, to ensure that every handbag in the collection is authentic.

"As a result of the rising popularity of vintage accessories, their price tags are soaring, nearly doubling what they were 10 years ago," said Watson. "Vintage fashion makes a distinctive style statement in a fashion landscape where it is increasingly difficult to stand out. The designer handbags in the Vintage Collection give women the means to enhance their personal style and express their individuality."

Each piece in the Vintage Collection will be individually priced with monthly rental fees ranging from $100-4,800. Weekly rental will be available, starting for as low as $40.
